Taking the big step up to management roles
MBA RDI Management Learning/University of Bradford, UK
The MBA course offered by Hong Kong-based RDI Management Learning, in collaboration with the University of Bradford in England, targets dedicated individuals who are looking to advance to management roles in their respective fields.
The University Of Bradford School Of Management is one of Europe’s leading, and longest established, university-based business schools, with an abundance of experience of providing business education.
“The MBA looks to help students develop a detailed understanding of business and management, improve their personal skills, and enhance their careers,” says Simon de-Lay, lead academic adviser at RDI.
“The programme offered in Hong Kong is exactly the same as that offered in Britain. It is taught by teaching staff from the University of Bradford and local lecturers that have been approved by the university.”
The programme is committed to helping students develop a diverse international network to help them excel in the global market. “The programme has an international focus that prepares students to work in the globalised business world. Our students have diverse backgrounds. In an average year, almost 100 nationalities are represented in our student population, on programmes both in Bradford and across the world. Most of them hold senior positions in international companies,” de-Lay says.
One of the programme’s strengths is its focus on relating academic study to the “real” world of employment. “We make sure our students are equipped with the right skills to be successful by keeping close contact with employers. The programme is up to date and fits the demands of the market. The assignments often encourage students to apply the theories that they have learned in class to real-world situations. We also have many case studies for students to tackle business problems with a practical approach,” says de-Lay.
The programme provides a comprehensive view of business management. Students can study topics such as finance and human resources management which can help them enhance their entrepreneurial abilities. Modules on e-business and managing international business in emerging economics help students gain insights on the latest business-world developments.
